Ensuring your mom gets proper fluids and nutrition is KEY to keeping her organs healthy! You might try making special shakes in a blender - adding supplements, ensure, fresh bananas, etc. Also, you might want to consider a PEG tube in her stomach. When one was recommended to me/my mom over a year ago - I said NO WAY - but we got one in June of this summer. Your mother has to get her vitamins and nutrients and WATER some how, some way. I would try the natural way first - fresh milkshakes with straws. Maybe she needs a swallowing test to make sure she can eat safely.

She can swallow thanks to the Thick-it stuff but she is so picky - has not done shakes but we will keep trying
